[Asia Economy Reporters Ryu Jeong-min and Son Seon-hee] The Blue House has conveyed that it will not issue a separate statement regarding the prosecution of Song Cheol-ho, Mayor of Ulsan, by the prosecution.

A senior Blue House official told reporters on the 12th, "The prosecution has prosecuted, and that is that. There is nothing in it that warrants the Blue House to express an opinion," adding, "Just because certain content appears in the indictment does not mean it is true."

The senior Blue House official said, "It is only the content of the indictment, and there are conflicting claims between the prosecution and the defendants. They are disputing each other, and the conclusion will come out as arguments are made in court," adding, "I am not sure if it is appropriate to demand the Blue House to issue a statement during such a process."

The senior Blue House official added, "The parts related to Blue House officials were all disclosed through an internal investigation last time, and the prosecution is making conflicting claims about that as well," and said, "We have identified and disclosed all the parts we could ascertain. It was all reported at the time. It is not right to assume any one claim as fact and act on it."
